Hi!

Some time ago i change the original struts to Blistein B4 with original springs.
I also riding 17" 215\40 trye.
I was not happy before and still not happy with results.

My comfort is terrible. I am always moving, like a boat, I got a little "Tree Car Air Freshener" and is always waving, so i not psychological thing...
Even when driving at low speed with normal not to bad shape road.... at high speed it improve a little but too much..


I have doubts if the suspension is too hard or to soft..


How can improve my suspension... does the installer forget to put or to check something ? Does original springs are not right to blistein struts? Tyres ?

Thanks....

Bilstein suspension does exactly what it was supposed to do and that is why it is not offered on most cars. You are putting a sport suspension which is meant for the track where it stiffens up at high speeds and becomes tolerable at low speeds.

Prior to spending thousands of dollars perhaps you should have researched what it is that you are buying.

Also... you are riding on thinner tires so your ride will be rougher than on stock recommended wheels. Something you have to compromise on.

Overall your car does exactly what it is supposed to do based on things that you have bought for it.

your next tires should be 2XX45/17, that will improve your ride quality a lot.
